Ruth is acending from the water at our secluded island situated in the Hvaler archipelago, southeastern Norway. Very peaceful and the weather -- that day -- was very comfortable indeed.

Sverige nesten

Actually,  from a vantage point we can observe the Swedish border. However, due to the difference in handling C-19 pandemic, we cannot travel to Sweden now without having to be quarantined 14 days afterwards. So not that tempting

Had to look it up.

July 1

Rainy day, which is good we need all the rain we can get; has been too dry the last few years, groundwater levels have been dropping aprox.10 cm per year.

The 1.2/56mm OM Zuiko from the 1980ies is charming. I even took campaign videos with it yesterday at f/1.2 ... very beautiful. Z6.

Agreed
And a nice reminder of this Fons.

Now I'm waiting for the next picture

All that you see when working confined at home We keep the back of the garden in a natural state, we only mark the trail with the mower. Today, a roe deer and her fawn came in for 20 minutes, lunch time. First time ever since we live here. There was a lot of excitement in the house
